Is eduroam safe to use?

eduroam is based on the most secure encryption and authentication standards in existence today. Its security far exceeds typical commercial hotspots. Be aware though that when using the general Internet at an eduroam hotspot, the local site security measures at that hotspot will apply to you as well. For example, the firewall settings at the place visited may be different from those you are used to at home, and as a guest you may have access to fewer services on the Internet than you have at home.
